James 2:1-9
1My brothers, don`t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, [the Lord] of glory, with respect of persons.
2For if a man with a gold ring, in fine clothing, comes into your assembly, and there come in also a poor man in filthy clothing;
3and you pay special attention to him who wears the fine clothing, and say, "Sit here in a good place;" and you tell the poor man, "Stand there," or "Sit by my footstool;"
4haven`t you shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn`t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he promised to those who love him?
6But you have dishonored the poor man. Don`t the rich oppress you, and personally drag you before the courts?
7Don`t they blaspheme the honorable name by which you are called?
8However, if you fulfill the royal law, according to the Scripture, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself," you do well.
9But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.
